Viamonte^t⁴⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: Adam Browne-Souza⁽¹⁰⁾| T: W P Browne

66/1

Barraquero gelding. Tongue strap on, shaped as if in need of the experience when ninth of 14 in maiden at this course (7f, 20/1) on debut 47 days ago. Down in trip now but likely type for low-grade handicaps further down the line.

Historical Fact^h1¹⁰⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Rory Cleary| T: C O'Brien

100/1

Well held all 3 starts in turf maidens at up to 7f during second half of last season. Hard to fancy.

Form: 090-

Just Jump¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Wayne Lordan| T: Alan McIntyre| OR: 75

7/2

Lightly-raced gelding. Fourth of 7 in minor event (13/8) at this course (6f) 15 days ago, weakening approaching final 1f. First run for yard after leaving A. Slattery and pick of his exploits give him claims.

Form: 7873-4

Karney¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Jack Kearney⁽⁵⁾| T: P Martin

100/1

Twice-raced gelding. 25/1, fifth of 7 in minor event at this course (6f) 15 days ago, brief headway home turn but never dangerous. First run for yard after leaving Gavin Patrick Cromwell and handicap on the back of this will be more his bag.

Form: 8-5

Red Evolution¹¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Jamie Powell⁽³⁾| T: M O'Callaghan| OR: 85

5/4

Lightly-raced gelding. 28/1 and blinkered for 1st time, 7½ lengths last of 13 to Lady With The Lamp in listed race at this C&D in October. Return to calmer waters in his favour and pick of last season's form on turf gives him solid claims with the headgear left off.

12/1

Fair filly. Remains a maiden after 7 Flat runs. Ninth of 12 in maiden (40/1) at this course (6f) 61 days ago, effort 2f out and weakening. Drops back to the minimum trip now but others hold stronger claims.

16/1

Soldier's Call filly. Friendless in the market but showed ability amidst greenness when sixth of 12 in maiden at this course (6f, 66/1) on debut 61 days ago. Open to progress.

Forecasts

Red Evolution (5/4), Tropical Retreat (11/4), Just Jump (7/2), Wild Embers (4/1), Tino Pai (10/1), Charanda (12/1), Havana Goodtime (16/1), Edana Of Ireland (16/1), Sienna Grey (33/1), Wonderful Queen (33/1), Aleppo Pepper (40/1), Viamonte (66/1), Karney (100/1), Historical Fact (100/1)

The pick of RED EVOLUTION'S exploits as a juvenile give him prime claims, so he's given the nod back in calmer waters following a 4-month break/having been gelded since last seen. Tropical Retreat shaped better than the bare result on debut over 6f here recently and she's a likely threat with progress anticipated. Just Jump is another holding claims.
